Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: CMS Enterprise 

Identity Management System; Use: The 

Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) 

solution will provide an enterprise-wide 

solution that will also support CMS’ 

senior management goal to improve the 

Provider and Health Information 

Exchange experience by providing an 

enterprise-wide set of credentials and 

single sign-on capability for multiple 

CMS applications. In order to prove the 

identity of an individual requesting 

electronic access to CMS protected 

information or services, CMS will 

collect a core set of attributes about that 

individual. 

These core attributes will be used to: 

1. Provide the identity proofing 

service sufficient data to establish that 

the individual’s identity is provable to 

a NIST assurance level; 

2. Store the approval information 

returned by the identity proofing 

service; 

3. Provide CMS with additional data 

for multi-factor identification (personal 

questions and answers); 

4. Provide the user a single sign-on, 

federated CMS EIDM ID and Password; 

5. Authenticate the user; and 

6. Authorize the user for application 

access. 

The information collected will be 

gathered and used solely by CMS and 

approved contractor(s) and state health 

insurance exchanges. Information 

confidentiality will conform to HIPAA 

and FISMA requirements. Respondents 

may also access CMS Terms of Service 

and CMS Privacy Statement on the Web. 

Form Numbers: CMS–10452 (OCN: 

0938–New); Frequency: Reporting—On 

occasion; Affected Public: Individuals 

and households; Number of Annual 

Respondents: 26 million; Total Annual 

Responses: 26,000,000; Total Annual 

Hours: 8,666,667. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Robert 

Burger at 410–786–2125. For all other 

issues call 410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: The Medicare 

Advantage and Prescription Drug 

Program: Part C Explanation of Benefits 

CFR 422.111(b)(12); Use: CMS is 

requesting OMB approval for the 

information collection requirements 

referenced in the April 15, 2011 final 

rule revising the Medicare Advantage 

(MA) and Part D programs for calendar 

year 2012 (77 FR 21432–21577). The 

rule revised the MA disclosure 

requirements in 42 CFR 422.111(b) by 

adding the authority for CMS to require 

MA organizations to furnish a written 

explanation of benefits directly to 

enrollees, in a manner specified by CMS 

and in a form easily understandable to 

enrollees, when benefits are provided 

under Part 422. The collection 

instrument that requires OMB approval 

concerns the disclosure requirements in 

paragraph 42 CFR 422.111(b)(12). This 

information collection request would 

require MA organizations to furnish 

directly to enrollees, in the manner 

specified by CMS and in a form easily 

understandable to such enrollees, a 

written explanation of benefits, when 

benefits are provided under Part 422. 

Form Number: CMS–10453 (OCN: 

0938–New); Frequency: On occasion; 

Affected Public: Private Sector— 

Business or other for-profits. Number of 

Respondents: 564. Number of 

Responses: 2,256. Total Annual Hours: 

101,520. (For policy questions regarding
